Munich Cricket Club Victoria in City of London, Westminster

Amazing slice of Bavaria in the heart of London

They do not allow walk ins. Must book days in advance.

First visit to what I believe is a well-known haunt in this area. Great selection of beers (if London pricey!), but at 17:30 on a weekday the bar service was pretty slow. Staff were friendly enough though and beer quality (taste!) was good, with some Oktoberfest specials on the menu! Atmosphere was good, but with lots of hard surfaces and no noise-dampening, it’s not conducive for easy conversation!

Nice, spacious restaurant and good service. The Monday Schnitzel deal was great, the food was ok. Highly recommend for cheap lunch deal

Pretty yummy. We ordered the schnitzel platter. Pork and Chicken Schnitzel, lots of chips/fries, potato salad, salad, pretzels and assorted Sauce and gravys . We couldn't finish it all....but then there was a wunderbar Apple strudel. Oh my yes please. 😋

Went with friends for birthday we dressed up made an effort, nice selection of beers and food. The band made it though if they wasn't there it would have been bit dull. Rush to get last train home from London. We had a good time, prices not too bad

Dreadful experience. Very rude service and terrible food, borderline off. Avoid at all costs

Good german beer ruined by very bad service and cold meal. The waitress acted as if it was punishment ,

It would have been better had the waitress known anything at all about what was on the menu, but she had ran trouble understanding what we waved and kept having to look on her tablet to see what it was. The service was fairly slow, too. As for the food, mine was delicious, but the soft-boiled egg was hard-boiled, and the radishes distinctly lacking!

Stopped by for Monday lunch during my Summer vacation in London. Greeted by a cabinet of steins at the entrance, I descended the stairs to find a welcoming authentic Bavarian bierkeller, right in Victoria (Westminster). Settled at a wooden bench, my order of Wiener Schnitzel mit frittierten Kartoffeln was tasty, and the Paulaner pils washed it all down very nicely. Strawberry schnapps was a delight too. I was well looked after by friendly staff. Highly recommended, particularly if you like German food!

Very interesting German bier keller type bar, around the Fenchurch railway arch area / opposite the Cheshire Cheese.

We read reviews before visiting the Munich Cricket club at Fenchchurch Street they were mixed but we decided to give it a go...BIG MISTAKE! One review suggested that it was Lidl on a plate, that's fine if it's cooked properly, this was clearly pre cooked food that hadn't even been warmed up properly. The bratwurst was as pale as the day it was born , the sauerkraut was full of clove flavour and the mixed grill with leberkase was luke warm. We did get some money off our bill but the meal we were treating family to was mostly returned. The service from the staff was friendly and professional and the beer was ok. Although we didn't expect the best German food we certainly didnt expect the worst!

Would highly recommend! Great service, we had the lunch deal which included a schnitzel, chips, salad, dessert, and a coffee or alcoholic shot. Very clean, quick food service, great environment. Food tasted delicious! Would go back as it wasn’t super busy or loud so could get a table quickly.

Loved this place! Best meal we had all trip. The veal schnitzel was gorgeous! Being a Monday there was a special deal on the schnitzels and steins of lager. Ended up being one of the cheaper meals we did too. Our server was so friendly and food came fast! Loved the decor and music too. Thanks so much!

Not quite an authentic German experience but, great for a work ‘do’ or an informal party as it provides something different. The beers are always good and food is ok (would recommend a platter). Thursday nights are especially fun as there’s usually an oompah band.

Great place, food is good and the staff is so nice and attentive. Family-friendly place. Highly recommended.

After a long tour of Westminster Abbey, we saw the sign for the 9 pound lunch. I love German food, since my mom was German. The lunch and atmosphere was excellent.

Great ompah band. Great beer. Dancing on the tables and fun night all round. Would definitely recommend. Prost!!

Soulless space with pretty unengaged staff lacking much customer focus. The beer offering however looks amazing.

We stumbled upon this fun place after touring the Westminster Abby and parliament. So glad we ended up staying for 3 hours drinking, eating, and singing/dancing along with the Electric Oompah band! The band was fun, German Food was great and the drinks were pouring! Good place to come and party with family and friends. A hidden gem in the area!

Great time watching the Euros 2024, Alex was a great host and made us very welcome as well as the rest of the team.

Great sports venue. Big screen. Attentive staff. Fantastic atmosphere

Like being back in Munich. Typical German menu and Munich beer.

Proper German food, good beer selection, live football. Try the Goulash Spaetzle, the best I had outside Germany.

We went on saturday daytime for a catch-up with friends. We booked a table but didn't need to as it wasn't busy. Not many staff so table service was a little slow. Bench seats and shared tables with big screen on as the Euros football was on. Great selection of beers and the food was also good. I had the Currywurst which was excellent.

The food was EXCELLENT and we loved the atmosphere … the service was a bit lacking .. the waitresses were too busy flirting with the bartenders… had to keep asking for things rather than being attended too

Classic German-themed bierkeller with the Paulaner signature. The food was also quite good. There weren’t just enough waiters for us to always catch them and all the tables were full at some point with only 2 people serving. The team was really attentive even though. Food was decent. Good selection of traditional German food. Beer was also good and fresh. Pretzels were warm and tasty.

Watched the Ger v Sco game with friends. So well organised, service and food were brilliant. Great Atmosphere.

Mr shoelace says. Great place for a drink and food

Said it was table service and failed to mention the 12.5% service fee if you have table service rather than going up to the bar. Written on the menu but obviously tiny at the bottom which feels a bit sneaky. When we questioned being charged extra our server was quite rude about it. Atmosphere is pretty stale. Much better places to go in the area.

Nice bar, extremely quiet when I visited around mid afternoon.

Attended with work colleagues for leaving drinks. Music bingo was the best fun ever. The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic. Will deffo be going back and highly recommend this place ! Thanks for a great night!

Não é acessível, há escada para acessar. Local grande e descontraído, mesas grandes para compartilhar. Bebida excelente, comida bem servida. Só não gostamos de encontrar a cozinha fechada no dia seguinte, às 21hs, muito cedo. Gostoso, boa opção.

great place to have a good time and a beer

Good German beer hall experience, great service, food and beer where both excellent, unfortunately there was no oompha band

Preferred the previous location, but still a nice vibe, especially on Thursdays - obviously - you get to go crazy with the best Oompah band in London! Had a cheese and ham schnitzel, and it was absolutely delicious.

Fun place. Good food and steins!

Great German style food and our server Amy was amazing she recommended lovely Apple cocktail and even taught us some German!

Travelled to London to join some work leaving drinks. Food was terrible, waitresses constantly turning up with the wrong food, no table numbers so no surprise. Food dry. No idea what the beets were. Waitresses (not all)unhelpful, walking away mid conversation. Music good but was the wrong place for us as impossible to talk over the noise.

Bouncers good walking around but they have to realize we are there and that's what pays their salary. You are allowed to smile and still do your job else it always feels like you have to walk on egg shells, caught one or 2 nodding off upstairs. Drinks take a little long at times but vibe is good and bar Staff great nobody just standing around. Beer snacks are great wouldn't recommend the pork knuckle, music and atmosphere created are amazing.

Went here to celebrate my birthday with friends from work. The staff looked after us really well from beginning to end. I ordered some drinks in advance and the value of these was great. We had a big group and so everyone wanted to sort their food out at different times. The staff were very accommodating and even pointed out food offers they had on, where people could get more for their money. Sausage dish and a pint for £12.50, excellent value. The beer is good, the atmosphere is great, the food was amazing. Everyone in my group had a great time. I was even given a birthday gift to help with the celebrations, which was totally unnecessary but very gratefully received. I couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my birthday with friends. 100% will be going again... and again... and, well you get the point. I only wish I could remember the name of our host, he gave me a card but I lost it on the route home. He was so friendly and wanted to ensure we had everything we needed to have a good time.

One of my favorite places, cozy, good service and food 😋😋😋

I waited almost an hour to have an inedible pork shank.

Bobbed in for a bit this afternoon. Greeted by a lovely waitress -can't remember her name just that she had a funny northern accent - who seated me. Ordered the apple straddle cocktail - highly recommend! - and the vegan curry wurst (quite spicy but luckily the northern waitress saw my spicy receptors struggling so she got me some mayo). Absolute life saver. The managers were really lovely - especially Aleks who served me my drinks. Very lovely and sunny disposition. Can't wait to head back.

Fun little slice of Germany in central London. Wide section of drinks and very good food. Live music on Thursday and Saturday night! The decor is great. I think I will become a regular!

We went as a group of 8.We started at around 2.30 and it was quite quiet. It soon livened up and was pretty much packed by 8pm. I would recommend booking or you might be dissapointed. The staff were very good and the drinks and food was spot on. Thanks very much.

Love ❤️ Munich ? Then just land up here. They also do happy hour 🍻! Gulp down the paulaner Steins !! Enjoy 😊

Very much enjoyed dancing on the tables and 2 for 1 cocktails until 8pm.

This place has such a great vibe to it with lots of space to have friends and watch sport

Stopped for lunch after visiting Westminster Best 9 £ lunch!. Service was excellent and the restaurant was CLEAN including the washrooms. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Great fun! It’s always so brilliant when we come here. Amy was a fantastic waitress. Cannot wait to come back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Sausage Tuesday deal is really good value for price - both Currywurst and beer were quiet nice, and Dan’s service was really fantastic.

We went on a Tuesday when train strike was on so very quiet and difficult to judge what atmosphere could be like on a busy day. Beer available by the pint or full stein with a good selection of German regional beers. We also are some food which was the expected German beer hall fare which was tasty. Would go back again hopefully when trains are running and get a fuller atmosphere.

Had a really great time here. Conrad gave some really great drink recommendations and really friendly service. Would definitely recommend

Amy was fantastic, she recommended a drink and it was what we drank ALL night! Thank you, Amy! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

so amazing, service was amazing, becky was fab. i really enjoyed the stein, the drink recommendation was fantastic, would come back

Sam was my server and he was amazing. I felt attended to all night and he was always very lovely anytime he came over to serve us. Very very happy with the service!

I have been going to the Victoria MCC with friends for some time, usually on a Saturday lunchtime when it’s less busy than evenings. The staff are helpful and friendly and the food authentically German and very well cooked. German language is not in evidence, apart from the menu, but typical German music plays, and on certain evenings, live music sets the tone. I particularly like their draught Munich Paulaner pilsner. Altogether, for those who like the German atmosphere and cuisine, the MCC is worth a visit.

Food is nice, not amazing but nice. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Venue is nice and roomy and imagine this is a fun place to go for an evening drinking session.

This was a fantastic find in the neighborhood of Westminster Abbey. We were drawn in by the sign on the sidewalk advertising a £9 lunch special. The food was delicious!! Amy was our server and she was so polite and anticipated our every need. We were still talking about how much we enjoyed our lunch several days later!

I want give 10/10 for this amazing place the staff and bar staff are top they are so polite and helpful but one member of staff makes this place amazing and what it is 10/10 Amy served us when we visited business meeting and honestly we will come again us our experience was amazing because of her

Really good atmosphere and the music is German but surprisingly good. Plates are definitely a good size for your money. A Caesar salad could feed 2 for under £15 Really good community vibe Staff were very friendly and the German stocking outfits were definitely a plus one to this place. 5/5 great, attentive service, would definitely come again

Great lunch, I had tje currywurst, which was delicious! Dan was really friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again.

I would love to give this place 10/10. The reason is because the place is so nice , the staff is friendly , the food is out of this world and again the staff are unbeatable specially Dan, Jen they are so friendly kind and always making sure you are comfortable and they are the ones that make this place amazing.

First time for bratwurst and sauerkraut, thoroughly enjoyable. Took advantage of their Sausage and a Pint for £10 on Tuesdays, will be a repeat customer for sure. Seated and served by the lovely Amy, did an excellent job!

Great service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Always a fun enjoyable night out especially when the band are playing. Staff

Excellent place for a lovely Christmas party!

Second one of these places I've been too, and now the last. My pork knuckle that came had soggy flabby skin, no crackle at all. The inside of the joint was ice cold. Obviously reheat these too order, which I understand, but to serve it in this condition is criminal. Had to leave most of it(see photo)My partners vegan bratwurst also wasn't very well cooked. Definitely in top 5 worse meals of 2023.

Food was pretty good. Beer was good. Service was okay.

Food cold, some staff OK but others not helpful, looked like they didn't want to be there. Know how they felt. Apparently the one in Canary Wharf is excellent.

The food was bland and cold. Took forever between meals.

Went on a weekend. Service was very poor. They forgot our drinks until Reminded. Food was good. Drinks were good but the glass was dirty. Toilets were good, clean. You did need to go down stairs to enter the restaurant so be aware if you have reduced mobility.

Really good place for a work do. The food platter is delicious, plenty of German sausages, pretzels and chips. Vast array of German beer on tap. The best is the band playing cult classics.

Monday night service and atmosphere non existent. Lucky to be saved by some good sausage!

If you want to eat like a child, it's the place for you. Fries, schnitzel, sausages. Place is cosplaying as a Munich beer garden.

The sign says outside says “welcome” but apparently if you do t have a booking on Thursday you can’t even come in for a beer. I was turned away at the door when I said I want to come in and have a drink. “Maybe tomorrow” he said. No thank you

Rude staff and overpriced food. Fun atmosphere though

Stopped off here in a large group on a Friday afternoon. It wasn't too busy and we were able to find a table. I would imagine they get very busy in the evenings though so would definitely recommend booking a table.

It's busy, it's overpriced, the drinks aren't great but every time I come, it's great company. Only come if you're part of a big group - it's a bit awkward otherwise.

Had a great night. Good beer, Steins were NOT ridiculously expensive. Traditional food was great, huge pretzels were perfect to munch on whilst swigging from giant glasses. The Umpah bang were ace, playing their own versions of classic rock and current pop. A great night.

Excelente experiencia, el lugar, la ambientación y el servicio buenos y la comida deliciosa a un precio justo.

Visited the Victoria branch on 20/10/23 in the afternoon can't remember the last time I've received worse service, I've visited this branch on and off since before it moved locations and the service gets steadily poorer every time, the member of staff who served us spoke about three words not entirely sure what language they were in , the food was ok but not really worth the money, I'll definitely not be visiting this location again, shame it used to be good.

Good food and drinks. Only disappointment was added service charge for every drink you ordered eventhough it was optional

This event was booked only a week in advance, we had an amazing table, the bar and floor staff were so lovely. Totally recommend!! the vibe was great as the band were very skilful! Hands down one of the best Oktoberfest's we have ever been to all thanks to Aleksandra and Florin!!

The bar staff were great, didn’t wait long for drinks. Thank you to the managers for taking care of our booking. All staff were lovely. Will come back!

Great night! Went for the first time last night and it was such a vibe. The food was amazing, great live music and the staff were so much fun. Really made the atmosphere! Shout out to their manager Alex who got us all dancing in the tables. 100% recommended, defiantly will be going again!

Had the most amazing Octoberfest!! This event is so highly recommended, there was 10 people in our booking - all staff were friendly, fast service & created a great atmosphere! The music and band were the best. All thanks to Aleksandra & Flourin for looking after us the whole night, great managers!!

Quite a good 1st Oktoberfest experience here.

I went for the business lunch deal at the London Victoria venue. The chicken schnitzel was delicious and it was a large portion with a very nice salad. However they could pay attention to some details; this a German themed restaurant, mustard is a basic item and in Germany it is often well-paired with any German dish so to not offer mustard was rather disappointing. Also, I am aware this is a beer hall but there are often non-drinkers who accompany their friends to the venue, and for the 'business lunch' the management should consider a non-alcoholic alternative to the schnapps. If a diet coke was offered as an alternative I would be more likely to return as I really liked the venue and the waitress was perfectly pleasant.

Really good night in here. The service is excellent with very friendly waitresses. Food was excellent and it was very difficult to choose what to have as the menu was full of good selections. Atmosphere brilliant with a live umpa band playing through the evening.

The band was good but one of the musicians opened the valve of his instrument that released all the saliva that collected inside the instrument and it landed on my friend’s forehead. That kinda ruined the night for us.

A good Oktoberfest night. Food good, service was okay and band were fine. Good fun overall but would not return.

La comida muy buena (y gran cantidad) y el personal muy atento y muy amable. La chica que nos ha atendido muy simpática y atenta.

Entramos por estar cerca del hotel donde nos alojamos y si, auténtico alemán en London. Personal muy amable con su atuendo típico. Muy bonito por dentro y ambiente perfecto. La comida estaba buena, picante y muy buenos precios para ser London.

This is as good as you’ll get for a German restaurant in UK. Draft Munich beers and genuine German food. It’s a lively venue late in the day but quieter at lunchtime. Service is prompt and food is delicious. Thoroughly recommended if only to try out.

Very disappointed. No nice music. From 10.30pm they want to close. I don't recommend this place.

It's great place especially for large groups, the Oompah band will have you up dancing on the tables!!!

Great oompah band on Saturday night! If requested in advance, they can also provide gluten free platters.

Very mediocre experience overall. The only authentic German thing in there were beers and pretzels. The staff is very young, inexperienced, and struggled to service our group (they tried, though had some attitude). Über loud music (generic 80s and 90s radio) didn't help, and it was very hard to hold a conversation with anyone at the table or even order food or drinks. Food overpriced for what it really was - plates and trays full of chips with slabs of unseasoned meat and sausage tossed on them. It is better suitet for after-work beers and bites for under 10 ppl, not for a sit-down dinner.

Very German place. Tasty beer and huge portions. Highly recommend to visit.
